Tesco has confirmed that the rush is on for grabbing one of the 200 jobs for their new store, and hopefuls can apply either direct to them or through JobCentre Plus.
Locals became worried a fortnight back after letters were sent out by Jobcentre Plus explaining that they were no longer involved in the recruitment process. It sparked fears that, despite earlier promises, locals may not get priority treatment for vacancies.
But those fears can be allayed after it was confirmed locals would have first bite with interviews set to take place in the coming weeks.
A spokesperson for Tesco told mywelshpool: “There has been a lot of interest for the 200 positions and we expect the induction programme for new employees to kick-start in the New Year. The store manager has confirmed that applications are being taken on-line or through JobCentre Plus.”
